ACTIONS:
1. Demand Alameda County D.A. Nancy O’Malley charge Anthony Pirone with the felony murder of Oscar Grant III
SIGN: Sign on: Demand Alameda County D.A. Nancy O’Malley charge Anthony Pirone with the felony murder of Oscar Grant III | The Action PAC (grassrootslaw.org)
EMERGENCY PETITION (will be delivered January 1st. : to get justice for Oscar Grant – after his family has waited for 11 years the family and the community demanded the reopening of the Oscar Grant case, District Attorney Nancy O’Malley agreed but has yet to file charges. We’re going to deliver petition signatures on January 1st.
Over a decade ago, Oscar Grant was just 22 years old when a Bay Area Rapid Transit (BART) police officer shot and killed him at a train station. Since then, a stack of evidence has emerged that shows Officer Anthony Pirone was largely responsible for Oscar’s death. But he was never charged for murder.

3. Demand an Immediate Global Ban on Gain-of-Function ‘Biomedical’ and ‘Biodefense’ Research!
SIGN: Stop the Genetic Engineering of Viruses! Shut Down All ‘Biodefense’ Labs Immediately! – Organic Consumers Association | Organic Consumers
As the global COVID-19 death toll mounts, the debates rage on. Masks, or no masks? This drug, or that one? Send kids to school, or keep them home?
Absent from most of the mainstream coverage of COVID-related issues is the life-or-death conversation we should be having: How do we make sure that this—or something much worse—never happens again?
It’s time to end the reckless genetic engineering and weaponizing of pathogenic viruses and organisms, carried out under the guise of “biomedicine” and “biodefense,” by demanding an immediate and total global ban all gain-of-function research.
4. Support Parole and Compassionate Release for Dr. Mutulu Shakur

As we gather on this day of new beginnings to address the people, on what steps we will be taking next as a collective going into this new and sacred year. A call to all oppressed Nations peoples that have suffered under this reign of terror and its cruel rulers the United States Government. It is time we shine light on the urgency to separate political bands with this system and to institute a new system that will protect our freedom , our dignity, and our future. A new system for the People, by the People that will protect us all with the same Military structure only new leadership that will no longer be based solely on world domination and dictatorship.
For Decades if not Centuries now this Leadership has showed us why it is written that a Revolution is the duty of the People to carryout once a system becomes destructive and or threatens the safety of the People without cause. These cruel rulers have showed us that they do not have our Children’s wellbeing, health, our safety or our future in their greatest interest.

JULIAN ASSANGE EXTRDITION HEARING VERDICT RELEASE
Judge Vanessa Baritser, who is presiding over Julian Assange’s extradition hearings, had acknowledged the political nature of Assange’s hearings and decided not to rule until after the U.S. Presidential election on November 3rd.
This decision will have lasting impacts on journalism in the U.S. and globally.
Now is the time to stand up for the freedom of journalist Julian Assange and whistleblower Edward Snowden. The trial decision will be read at the UK court hearing on January 4, 2020 at 12 noon and we will be rallying in San Francisco at the British consulate to demand that he be immediately freed.
He is a journalist who is in jail for exposing the crimes of US, British imperialism and the multi-nationals that run the world. WikiLeaks has taken the mask off the real criminals and terrorists running the US government.
We demand that all charges be dropped against him and Edward Snowden who is also faced with being arrested for being a whistleblower against the crimes of the US war machine.
Join us, along with #Candles4Assange events world wide.
Bring signs/banners if you have them, but mainly bring yourself.
Safe distancing and masks
